Well I'm in the club and have been there most of my life (I'm 47 now). The red ear thing has been bothering me more so lately as it has become a nearly daily occurance when before it just happened from time to time. It seems that stress is my big trigger and with my wife in the hospital and it being my busy season at work it has been a daily annoyance. It nearly always starts in my left ear and usually moves to the right too and sometimes then to my cheeks and nose. I'm not embarrassed by it just a tad uncomfortable at times.
My research on it always points to stress and anxiety. Perhaps the stress triggers tightening of small muscles in the C3 area of the spine which has nerve connections to your outer ear.
The tongue thing does seem to work.
I may start getting some massages to relax myself. My wife loves to go and get them and has told me time and again that I should go.
Well hope everyone can keep their redness under control and enjoy life.
